I still confirm with my dad when I use my credit card for any purchases. He eyeballs the bills, so I stay safe and keep tabs on what I do. Old habits die hard.

Aren't you like 20-something?

Actually I haven't checked my bank account in awhile I wonder how much money I have.

27 actually. Helps (maybe hurts?) that I still live with him and all the bills and such are done via my name and debit card, etc. Still, it was always a good practice of mine to confirm whenever I was about to make a purchase of any sort, just in case. Never wanted to be the one who came home without toilet paper because I spent my last 20 bucks on a mexican dinner, you know?

It's scary to start thinking about budgets and planning and shit like that, but seriously, this service is free, has mobile apps for just about every platform AND it gives you alerts of when you have a bill coming up, helps you to be on track with your goals to save.

You can set budgets per month on everything from coffee shops to bars to video games to gas. It's pretty fucking rad.

Yeah, with direct deposit it's super easy to have a percentage of my check split off into my savings account. I never even see it until I have to make a big payment like property taxes or something. I really don't check my bank balance in between paychecks. I have a decent idea in my head what's in there, and it's been awhile since I've genuinely had to worry about running out of money. bonus! My son will. be done with Kindercare next month! That's $800 freakin' dollars a month back in our pockets. Kick ass. Considering we've been doing OK without this money, it will be directed into savings and bills. It's like getting a raise without actually getting one.

I got groped by a ginger in kindergarten. This was the first, and last, sexual encounter I had with another human being.

I find it odd that you don't know what Kindercare is. It's a daycare place. They basically bend you over and pull money out of your ass just to watch your kid for a couple hours a day. Sadly, my son has been going there for 5 years now. That's just the reality of things when both the husband and wife work. He can't wait to be done with it.

I wouldn't mind being groped by a ginger. Do I get to pick? Christina Hendricks, please! Karen Gillan would be a close second.
